Police and protesters have clashed for more than a week in the St. Louis suburb of Ferguson, Missouri. Local filmmaker Justin Norman captured dozens of images and video of the conflict to document the tense situation.

Norman said it didn’t take long to witness a physical dispute on a street corner.

“Before a half-hour of being there, I saw this woman forced to the ground, handcuffed and put in the back of a police car, arrested for standing and holding a sign,” Norman said.

The distance between Des Moines and Ferguson is about 340 miles, but Norman said he felt a world away from home.

“The police are all outfitted like they’re about to invade Afghanistan,” Norman said.

Michael Brown, 18, was fatally shot and sparked an intense debate. Police said the unarmed teen charged Ferguson police Officer Darren Wilson in an attempt to grab the officer’s gun. Others believe Brown had his hands up and offered to surrender.

“Enough is enough,” said Calvetta Berry, founder of Mothers Against Violence. “There was no reason for that young man to get killed.”

Berry is organizing a trip to the Missouri suburb for Saturday morning. She said she hopes their group of about a dozen will help aid protesters who have been hit with smoke bombs and tear gas.

“We just want to be there and with our bodies and show support for the people of Ferguson,” Berry said.

Mothers Against Violence has a few more spots open for those interested in taking the trip to Ferguson. They plan to drive down and protest all day and night Saturday, and return to Des Moines on Sunday.
